Huichuang Sauna Solutions | Infrared & Outdoor Saunas Manufacturer

I. Principle

Traditional saunas heat the air or use steam to raise the indoor temperature, so that the human body sweats in a high temperature environment, thereby promoting blood circulation and metabolism, and achieving a relaxing effect. This process helps to expel toxins from the body, improve skin condition, enhance immunity, and create a good health effect.

Difference in heating from traditional saunas:
- In traditional saunas, the temperature of the indoor air is first increased by heating stones or other heat sources, and then the human body sweats by contact with the high-temperature air. Far infrared saunas heat the inside of the human body directly. For example, a traditional sauna may need to heat the indoor air to 70-100°C to achieve a sweating effect, while a far infrared sauna can make the human body sweat at a relatively low temperature of 45-60°C.

II. Features

Traditional saunas typically use wood as the main structural material, which not only effectively retains heat, but also helps to create a natural and comfortable environment. The equipment in the sauna is simple, usually including sauna stoves, seats, lighting, etc. Its temperature is generally maintained between 70-100 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is relatively low, which is suitable for most people.

Additionally, users can adjust the temperature and stay time according to personal needs to get the best relaxation experience. The authentic sauna experience includes the traditional löyly (steam) created by throwing water on heated stones.

III. Energy Saving and Environmental Protection

Modern traditional saunas have begun to introduce energy-saving measures, such as using efficient heat sources and insulation materials to reduce heat loss. At the same time, many saunas use environmentally friendly wood to ensure sustainability.

By optimizing design and technical improvements, it is ensured that while enjoying the sauna, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are minimized, reflecting the concept of sustainable development. Advanced sauna heaters now feature programmable timers and efficient heating elements that reduce electricity consumption by up to 30%.

IV. Frequency and Duration of Use

In order to achieve the ideal health effect, it is recommended to use the sauna room 1-3 times a week, each time for 15-30 minutes. The frequency and duration vary according to personal physical condition and adaptability.

First-time users can start with a short time (10-15 minutes) and gradually increase the duration of use to help the body adapt to the high temperature environment. Appropriate frequency of use can help maintain a good physical condition, reduce stress, and improve the quality of life.

Optimal Sauna Practice

Always shower before entering the sauna
Begin with lower temperatures (70-80°C)
Stay hydrated before, during and after
Cool down gradually after each session
Rest for at least 15 minutes post-sauna
